The Wow House - Modern, Stunning Beach & Ocean Views
`Wow` is the first word out of everyone`s mouth the moment they step through the front door and take in the view: Kuaotunu West Beach stretching out below, with Great Mercury Island and Great Barrier Island on the horizon beyond.
This modern 3-bedroom holiday home is built for that view — and for making the most of it. The open-plan kitchen, dining and living area flows out through bifold doors onto the deck, blurring the line between indoors and out. Whether it`s a lazy breakfast, sundowners, or a full holiday feast, there`s space to spread out and enjoy it.
**The Kitchen** Fully equipped for a house full of holidaymakers: dishwasher, microwave, electric oven, 4-burner gas hob, fridge/freezer, toaster and kettle, plus crockery, cutlery and utensils for up to 6. A large pantry and generous cupboard space mean there`s room for all your holiday supplies, and a Weber BBQ on the deck is ready for anyone keen to grill.
**Bedrooms & Bathrooms** - **Master suite** — upstairs, with a quality queen bed, walk-in wardrobe, and ensuite (shower, toilet, heated towel rail, vanity). Its own ranch slider opens onto a private deck with beach views. - **Bedroom two** — downstairs, a comfortable queen bed with its own walk-in wardrobe, sharing a bathroom (shower, toilet, heated towel rail, separate vanity). Also opens via ranch slider onto its own deck. - **Bedroom three** — a queen bed with built-in clothes rack and shelving, sharing the same downstairs bathroom.
The downstairs living area links the two lower bedrooms and includes a wall-mounted 42` Sony TV with Chromecast for all your streaming favourites — giving guests a bit of separation from the upstairs living space when needed. Step through the ranch slider to the third deck, a shaded spot perfect for relaxing outdoors any time of day.
**Connected & Entertained** Stay connected throughout the house with fast, unlimited Starlink wifi (120+ Mbps). Upstairs, music lovers will appreciate the Onkyo receiver with WiiM Pro (Spotify, AirPlay 2 and Chromecast Audio), CD player, subwoofer and wall-mounted speakers — stream your favourite tunes straight from your phone.
**All Made Up For You** A full linen package is included: bed linen, bath towels, bath mats, hand towels, face cloths and tea towels — all made up before you arrive, so your holiday starts the moment you walk in. A fresh linen change is provided every 7 nights, though a front-loader washer, dryer and clothes line are on hand if you need them.
**Steps to the Sand** The white sand of Kuaotunu West Beach is just a 3-minute stroll away via a private pathway to Cuvier Crescent — close enough to leave the car parked and spend your days by the sea. Rinse off the sand and salt in the private outdoor shower before heading in for a summer dinner on the deck. Sit back, take in the view, and say Wow.
**Good to Know** - Free off-street parking for 2 cars (no space for large boats) - Not suitable for wheelchair users or those with mobility issues, due to internal and external stairs - No children under 12, due to internal/external stairs and large glass doors and windows - Sorry, no pets - A Minut environmental monitor tracks temperature, humidity, smoke alarm activation and sound levels - Early check-in and late checkout may be available — details sent via the Guest Portal once your reservation is confirmed
I live locally in Kuaotunu and I`m on call throughout your stay. Heating and lights will be on for an after-dark arrival, and I`m just a call or text away if you need anything — my goal is to make your stay as easy and enjoyable as possible.

The house lived up to its name! Hosts were welcoming and responsive to questions and quick to address any concerns. A perfect pace to reconnect with family.
The name of the house says it all. Amazing views, well equipped, short walk down to the beach. We loved our time here. Would easily accommodate 2 families with the rumpus room set up downstairs for the kids.

Thank you for your lovely review. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay and loved you time here.
Staying at the "Wow" house was beyond WOW!
Mark was very helpful before our trip with places to go and things to do during our stay.
When we arrived at the house for our Christmas holiday, Mark and Serena had put up a Christmas tree with tinsel and lights for us! WOW!
And that view? Honestly, it is incredibly peaceful gazing out their picture glass windows.
Our family had a wonderful time and can't thank Mark and Serena enough for their hospitality!
We give the "Wow House" Fifteen stars out of five!!!!!
The photos dont do it justice and there are so many words to describe the views. We were blessed with beautiful warm, sunny days and we spent hours moving between decks to take in the spectacular scenery. Having a BBQ was great as we were there for some nights when Luke’s Kitchen wasnt open, what an asset to a spectacular place. We had long walks on several local beaches and time just flew past. The stars at night were truly amazing as well. We have moved on to another part if beautiful NZ but I am missing this already, its just super special and full credit to the owners for a stunningly designed house with so many creature comforts. Cant wait to return and stay longer.
Amazing views and great separate areas for adults / kids. Incredible stargazing too. Very warm and cosy house for a winter escape. The owner was super helpful with any questions we had.
Total bang for the buck. Fantastic & peaceful location, great host communication, great attention to detail. Absolutely loved it.
